Cover Page request

OK, I tried drawing myself a cover picture about a dozen times. I finally gave up.

In short, the character is a 19yo merchant in medieval-esque game-world scenario — so no weapons or armor — supposed to be somewhat handsome, but I don't know what actually is, as beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Wanting something that appears more real than not, if possible.

This was the final attempt I made before giving up...maybe could be used as a base idea.

The cover is for Aevitas [R]
